		During the conflict the Royal Air Force lost 792 planes and the Luftwaffe 1,389.
		Air Chief Marshal Charles Portal and the new head of Bomber Command, Arthur Harris, developed the policy of area bombing (known in Germany as terror bombing) where entire cities and towns were targeted.
		Defence against air attacks required the production of thousands of anti-aircraft guns, the stockpiling of tremendous quantities of ammunition over the country, and holding in readiness hundreds of thousands of soldiers, who in addition had to stay in position by their guns, often totally inactive, for months at a time.

		It continued, "The day may not be far off when aerial operations with their devastation of enemy lands and destruction of industrial and populous centres on a vast scale may become the principal operations of war, to which the older forms of military and naval operations may become secondary and subordinate".
		Created with the aim of the strategic bombing of Germany, this was the first time an Air Force had been created anywhere in the world with the intention of conducting air war without reference or subordination to Army or Navy command.
		At the end of the War, the RAF was the largest Air Force in the world with 27,333 officers, 263,837 other ranks, 22,647 aircraft, 103 airships, 133 front-line squadrons, 15 flights and 270 aerodromes overseas, 55 front-line squadrons, 75 training squadrons/depots, 401 aerodromes at home and 25,000 WRAF members.

	Callaway Family Association - William Bertram Callaway
		Air Vice-Marshal William Bertram Callaway, CBE, AFC, DL The growth of the Royal Flying Corps was slow, because, at first, its only duties were thought to be reconnaissance and spotting for the artillery.
		My missing air vice marshal from the 1940s must therefore have had a fair amount of significant service in the Royal Flying Corps or the Royal Naval Air Service to have been offered and been granted a permanent commission in the Royal Air Force around 1919 or 1920.
		She could rely on the fact that he hadn't been Air Officer Commanding Fighter Command between 1936 and about 1943, and, if he was 50 years of age in 1940, it was reasonable to look for his death certificate between, say, 1950 and 1990.
